Clinton calls on FBI to 'immediately' release information on renewed email probe

Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton implored the FBI on Friday evening to release information on its review of newly discovered documents "pertinent" to the probe into her use of a private email server.
“The American people deserve to get the full and complete facts immediately,” Clinton told reporters before taking questions.
Earlier in the day, FBI Director James Comey sent a vague letter to congressional leaders notifying them that the bureau was again actively investigating Clinton’s use of a private server after discovering new documents “pertinent to the investigation.”
Clinton said she learned of the news from media reports and had not “been contacted by anyone” from the FBI. 
The Democratic nominee added that she was "confident" the new emails would not change the results of the FBI's initial conclusion. The bureau declined to recommend charges against her in July, and Attorney General Loretta Lynch said the case was closed.

Lawyer says U.S. Supreme Justice Thomas groped her in 1999

A woman who works as a corporate lawyer with an Alaska energy company has accused U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas of groping her in 1999, a charge he called "preposterous" and untrue.
The woman, Moira Smith, said Thomas grabbed and squeezed her buttocks several times during a dinner party when she was 23 years old in the Falls Church, Virginia home of her boss at the time, the National Law Journal reported on Thursday.
Thomas, 68, joined the high court in 1991 after contentious Senate confirmation hearings involving sexual harassment allegations against him made by another female lawyer, Anita Hill.
Smith, currently vice president and general counsel at Enstar Natural Gas Co in Alaska, released a statement in which she said Thomas "touched me inappropriately and without my consent." Laura Fink, a political consultant in San Diego acting as Smith's spokeswoman, said the National Law Journal's account of the allegations was accurate.
Thomas, in a statement to the National Law Journal, said, "The claim is preposterous and it never happened."
A Supreme Court spokesman declined to comment on Thomas' behalf. Reuters was not able to independently verify Smith's accusations.
